So at the gardens we decided to have a dessert party! We ended up all bringing cookies but all different flavors so we had a cookie party instead! Afterward we raked grass for 2 hours. We were tearing up the grass to put new grass in. It was a long process buuuut while we were raking one of the gardeners started singing a song but changed the words and was like "me and my inmates... raking up sod.... me and my inmates... we got caught" we were all dying laughing.
Bheema... remember when I talked about our neighbor's dog named bheema? Well Shruthi (bheemas owner) and Bheema came over to say hi! It was a sweet surprise, well it started off good haha. So I have a bunch of flowers outside of our door that I have been "trying" to grow and I finally got this really pretty sunflower to grow after 4 months of growing things and them dying. Well bheema walks up and EATS MY SUNFLOWER!! He pulls it right out of the flower pot and starts eating it. Shruthi is freaking out and is like oh my! I'm so sorry! And hna eagar is dying laughing. I'm like oh hahah it's ok! It was dying anyways haha. But on this inside I was dying I was like bheema are you kidding me...... it was a funny experience. My poor sunflower though.
We visited the Suarez family this week. They were so fun to talk to and they have such powerful testimonies!
Maria is a member in our ward too and we visited her as well! We helped her write up scriptures and put them on her wall! Her home has such a sweet spirit. She then gave us tacos to take home so that was a bonus haha.
I got a caricatures of myself lol hahaha
We explored Hermann park and we ran into some members who gave us sandwiches! It was pretty good! We talked with them for a while and it was a blast :)
We tye dyed towels in our tub :)
We order 4 doughnuts to give away to the other missionaries in our apartment complex and when we paid they worker goes I put some extra doughnuts in there for yall. What! We were like no way! Thank you so much! It was awesome! So we ended up having 8 doughnuts instead of 4.
Oh I forgot we started English class this week! We are teaching a guy named wualbin and he seems to be interested in the gospel. We will see!
Well this week was great! I took it day by day and focused on the positives. I'm so grateful and glad to be out here serving the people of texas. As our prophet says "the joy we feel in our lives has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives. I hope all of you are doing well!

April 5, 2021 Hello! This week has felt like 3 weeks. It's been a long one. Not much happened so it's been pretty boring but here are a few of our adventures. We helped make an Easter Video for our facebook page. We helped out at our ward Primary Easter Egg hunt. One kid went hunting before it even started and took all of the eggs! So hna Ralphs and I successfully took his basket and hid all the eggs again 30 seconds before the hunt started. We were able to talk with a ton of ward members at the Easter egg hunt and meet so many members who had gone off the grid when covid started. It was a fun time! We watched conference! We were able to go to a members' home to watch it. While there, their huge cat came and sat on my notebook and on me and wouldnt move. Their cat was sooo sassy and kept walking all over our notes. Other than that, we had a really boring week. Nothing exciting happened. I hope everyone had a great time watching conference! If you havent seen it...

March 2, 2020 When you think you’ve hit rock bottom, you can only go up right... wrong. I can’t remember my favorite lines from the Grinch. I’m devastated. It was terrible. I was quoting the Grinch because the moment was right and I couldn’t remember the quote and now I eat brownies to drown my sorrows. IM NOT ACTUALLY SAD IM OK. This week was really good! Here is the update with our investigators. Augastina her baptism fell through because her mom has to keep working on her baptism it's very hard to get in contact with her mom. Augastina is a 9 year old girl who is very good! Alfred BAPTISM DATE! We taught Alfred about baptism after church this Sunday and he wants to get baptized! He is very excited. April 11th. We know it is very far out but there is a language barrier. He can only speak creole, French and a little Spanish so it takes a bit to explain everything and we want to make sure he understands everything. Alfred is like a 6’5” hatiano with literally the biggest he...
